Note: This poem is part of Caroline Pichler's novella Olivier, where princess Adelinde accompanies her song with the harp. This song does appear for the first time in the second edition (1803) of this novella. The initial version of the novella, without the poem, was published in two parts in 1801 and 1802 in Österreichischer Taschenkalender, an almanac published by her brother-in-law Anton Pichler.
